The Kenyatta and Nyachae's families have over the years shared a cordial relationship which has ever since remained unknown to many.
These relationship were started way back in 1951 when Senior Chief Musa Nyandusi the father of Simeon Nyachae hid Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in his house for a night.
This happened at a time when the British were looking for the former president.
According to Prof David K Leonard, a political scientists in University of California, in his book, 'African Success', Nyandusi risked losing his job and a possible arrest for hiding Kenyatta.
"On October 15, 1952, Kenyatta was campaigning in Kisii for self-rule when he received a tip that the colonial administration was seeking to arrest him. Nyandusi hid him for the night and helped him escape to Nairobi,' reads a paragraph in the book.
"Kenyatta was arrested five days later. The British were furious when they discovered what Nyandusi had done, but he begged that he was only meeting traditional African obligations of hospitality to a visitor," it further reads.
And when Kenyatta became President, he made Nyandusi's son, Simeon Nyachae as one of his trusted administrators, promoting him through ranks to provincial commissioner.
The same traditions never stopped, as the sons of the two prominent leaders continue to help each other to date.
This is much evident, as Charles Nyachae joined president Uhuru Kenyatta' s Jubilee party and vied for senatorial position despite the region being dominated by the opposition in the 2017 general elections.
And as though that is not enough, Nyachae lost in the race but president Uhuru Kenyatta came to his rescue and appointed him to the East African Court of Justice as a judge.
